Welcome to Skopelos island,

the Island of Blue and Green

Skopelos is part of the Sporades Islands consisting of Skopelos, Skiathos and Alonnisos.

The quaint narrow streets, the crystal clear water, ever so blue, and the view of the unending forests have made Skopelos an ideal location for vacationers. It is the ultimate place for those who crave both the natural beauty from all the serene nature, as well as an island which will revitalize them.

You can travel to Skopelos Island from Agios Konstantinos, Volos and Thessaloniki either by ship or flying dolphins. You may also fly into Skiathos airport, and take a ship or flying dolphin to Skopelos (the boat ride is usually about 20 minutes).

goats crossing the road, pigs perched on mountaintops along the main route to the beaches, and an abundance of natural and endangered wildlife. If you’re lucky, you may even spot dolphins or seals along the way.

Restaurants/bars

Exceptional restaurants across the island celebrate fresh, local ingredients and authentic Mediterranean flavors. Whatever the occasion and budget, the island easily appeases to all.

Tradition

Live traditional bouzouki music drifts from high on the hill, just beyond the town, overlooking both village and sea. It’s a place to enjoy dinner and drinks while listening, lingering, and reminiscing. Cultural experiences are woven throughout the area—from the Folklore Museum to artisan workshops that celebrate traditional craftsmanship and the timeless artistry of Skopelos.

Music

Modern music is also available at local clubs/bars. Live traditional music is offered nightly at various restaurants.
